"Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue Keeping Store"

The only thing is, I wouldn't want them to drive all
over town delivering groceries--I mean out on the main street where
there are so many autos now."
"Oh, we wouldn't go there!" promised Bunny.
"We might work it this way," went on Mr. Brown. "If there are things to
be delivered on the other side of Main Street I'll let Bunker Blue do
it. He can spare the time once a day. Bunny and Sue can do the rest of
the delivery."
So it was decided, and you can imagine how delighted Bunny and Sue were
when they hastened to tell the good news to Mrs. Golden.
"Why, that's perfectly wonderful!" exclaimed the old lady, and there
were happy tears in her eyes. "Oh, you are two darling children to think
so much of helping an old woman."
"You're not so old," declared Bunny politely. "Besides, we like to keep
store; don't we, Sue?"
"Lots!" answered the little girl.
Bunny and Sue clerked in the store as much as they had time for, but as
they were now to deliver things in the pony cart they could not spend so
much time behind the counter.
